I am extremely spiritual. I've not gone into this before because it's personal, but faith is the core of my life.

People have power to make a difference in their lives.

Making other people happy is what brings me happiness. I have a blessed life, and I have always shared my life's gifts with others. I will continue to use my voice and my life as a catalyst for encouraging people to help make a difference in the lives of others.

Most people when they're walking are thinking about where they have to go and what they have to do. But that removes us from happiness.

There are so many people who've come before me who deserved to be tired. Who didn't have the opportunities, who didn't have the access, who didn't have the money, who didn't have the influence, who didn't have the voice.

Joy is a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace - a connection to what matters.

When I was going through menopause, I didn't sleep. I didn't sleep for two years and ended up blowing out my thyroid, and I became nonfunctional. It's difficult to remain fully present if I'm not getting enough sleep, so I work at getting enough.
